Could you post a link to the AliExpress tool you used to cut the brake hoses? Did you also get the replacement barbs from Ali?

I actually bought the cutter and the BH59 barbs and olives as a single purchase https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005921749825.html

There are lots of these cutters and BH59 seems to be the Shimano type that fit GeX according to forums I've read. They're working for me.  As I mentioned the cutter isn't absolutely necessary, but it may the job so easy, one of those tools that is surprisingly good, especially for pushing the barb in straight with ease.

Thanks!
What happened was when I was almost finished with the build, I just so happened to strike a deal for the new Red XPLR.

1. Waiting for the Sram Red 1x13 XPLR groupset that I ordered to arrive. Hopefully in a couple of weeks.
2. Once installed, I'll be running either a set of Pathfinder Pro 47 or Conti Terra Speed 45 paired w/ 58mm deep FarSport wheels.
3. In the meantime I still would like to be able to test ride the bike and dial in my fit. 2x and 40mm tires are just stuff I had lying around.

Now that sounds like a setup! I have the Evo5/6 wheels on my road bike. I've also got the Yoeleos (gifted) which I would probably put on the gravel bike over the Farsports because of the steel spokes, however I got Peter from the forum to build be some wavy gravel wheels instead.

Would love to try the Red AXS XPLR but also can't really fault either the Ltwoo or Wheeltop... wheeltop now the chosen one because of better 50T support.
